Usage Guidelines
Use the aaa accounting command to create default or named method lists defining specific accounting methods
and that can be used on a per-line or per-interface basis. You can specify up to four methods in the method
list. The list name can be applied to a line (console, aux, or vty template) to enable accounting on that particular
line.
The Cisco IOS XR software supports both TACACS+ and RADIUS methods for accounting. The router
reports user activity to the security server in the form of accounting records, which are stored on the security
server.
Method lists for accounting define the way accounting is performed, enabling you to designate a particular
security protocol that is used on specific lines or interfaces for particular types of accounting services.
For minimal accounting, include the stop-only keyword to send a "stop accounting" notice after the requested
user process. For more accounting, you can include the start-stop keyword, so that TACACS+ or RADIUS
sends a "start accounting" notice at the beginning of the requested process and a "stop accounting" notice after
the process. The accounting record is stored only on the TACACS+ or RADIUS server.
The requested user process begins regardless of whether the "start accounting" notice was received by the
accounting server.
Note This command cannot be used with TACACS or extended TACACS.
